Application filed January 28, 1921. 5, Serial'No. 44 5522.

To all whom it may concem: Be it known that I, A. J; Woon, acitizen ofthe United States of America, residing 'at Greenville. in. the county ofMontcalm and State of Michigan, have invented certain new andusefulImprovements in Barrel-At taching Devices for Grease Guns or the like;and I do hereby declare the following to be a full, clear, and exactdescription of the l0 invention, such as will enable others skilled inthe art to which it appertain's to make and use the same. i

. This invention relates to a barrel attaching device by means of. whicha barrel grease dispensing apparatus may besecurelyyetdetachably-connected to the barrel which contains the grease and fromwhich the grease is to be dispensed. .The

' grease dispensing apparatus or. greaseigun,

as it is commonly called may befof any prepresent invention beingconnected :;thereto and disposed betweenit and the. barrel to which itis attached. It is a primary object and purpose of the invention toprovide a device of this character which maybe readily applied to thegrease gunand as read-- .ily. attached to the barrel or similarcontainerof grease, which isaeconOmical to make, and fully capable ofsecuring the grease gun in proper position relative to the greasecontaining receptacle. Various other objects and purposes, than thosestated, will appear fully and in detail as an understanding of theinvention is had from the following description, taken in connectionwith the accompanying drawinggin which, i

Fig. 1 is a partial sectional view and side elevation, showing myinvention usedin attaching'a grease-gun to abarrel, the upper portion ofthe barrel being shown. c

Fig. 2 is a partial section and plan, the section being on the plane ofline 2 2, of Fig. 1. v V i Fig. '3 is a view,rsimilar to;Fig. 1. of a rmodified form of construction, and

1 Fig.4 is-a fragmentary partial section and plan, the section being onthe plane' of line 4-4, ofFig. 3.

' parts in the different figures of the drawing.

The barrel adapted to containthe grease. has sides 1, and ends 2 whichare connected;

'" the head 6 by bolts 22which pass through with the sides at the endsas shown, whereby application to which reference is made.

and grease gun only Like reference characters refer to like projectingchimes 3 are I The, barrel shown is of metal, 'but'in anycase, thebarrel has such projecting chimes at the ends.

n opening-or bungghole 4 is made inone 9 adapted to be reciprocatedin;the tube c or an extension thereto as shown in said "Two clamping bars-10 shaped to fit against opposite sides of the head Gare used, eachateach end having a projecting ear l1, and each being formed with twoSpaced downwardly projecting feet 12 adapted to rest againsttheupperside of the barrel.

IBolts .13'passthrough the adjacentears of the two bars 10 andf receive'nuts whereby I the bars may be clamped tightly ag'ainstthe head.- 'ArodHis connected witheach'bolt 13,1prefera'b1y being formed with a hook oreye 15 at its end through which thebolts pass. The rods extend towardthe ends ot the barrel and 3T6 connected with bars 160:? flat metal,each atlits inner end having an upturnedearll and at its outer end adown wardly' and inwardly turned book 18. The

rods pass through the ears 1? and are threaded at theirouter ends-forthe reception of nuts 19, while the hooks 18 are hooked under the chimes3 of the barrel; It is apparent that by turning the nuts19', hooksjl8may be" drawn into secure engagement withthe chimes, thereby drawing thefeet 12 of bars 10 against the upper side of the barrel and in thismanner securingthei grease gun in fixed relation to the barrel." Thedetachment of the/grease gun from the barrel is accomplished by merelyloosening nuts 19 as'is obvious. I I g In Figs. 3 and 4, two bars20,.each somewhat longerthan the b'arrelare used and grease gun, the,bars being formed with recesses inwhich the head seats. The: bars ontheir inner sides are cut away so that oneplaced at each side ofthe head'6 of the a slot 21' is left, when the. two bars are.

placed togetherkThe'bars' are clamped to are located inparallelism andat each end i through the slots 21 and each is formedwith a hook 24ati-ts lower end which may be turned inwardly under the "barrel chi-me:

3. The upper end of each hooked rod 23 is threaded to receive a nut; 25and, preferably, a washerlies against the upper sides of the bars 20under each nut. -The rods are moved to proper position to locatethehooks under the chimes after whichthe nuts are tightened. Toreniovefthedevice from the barrel the nuts 25 'a re loosened and the: rods 23"moved ou-twar'd'ly until thohooks v v wardl'y from the bars so 'a's toengage with are free 'o fthe barrel chimes.

\Vit'h either of these constructions, -'the secure attachment of the :gre'ase'pump 'to the barrel ma be attained and in 'a simple manner. The'forlnshow n in Figs. 1 and 2 is preferred, though the. other Tfor'mshown in Figsdandd is serviceable an'dhas proved Very satisfactory. IVarious other forms and modifications in" construction of the inv'en-'tion may -be resorted to without departing from the invention defined inthe appended claims and Iconsider n13 selhe'ntitlied to all suchconstructions that come within the field covered by "the claims.lclairnz :1. A device of the character described.

corn-prising two :bars adapted to be placed:

one at each side :of; the :headof a' grease gun. means for securing saidbars to said head, and .hookmembers operativ-ely con necticd with saidbars toeng'age one w1th the V ch-irne at each end of abarrel "with whichthe-grease gun is. associated, substantially- 1 as described. r

bars together and serving to "draw bars toward eachother, a rodconnected with each bolt, said rods extending in opposite direc--t10ns,;a Inember formed -w1th an upturned earat its inner end and witha downturned and passing through the ear of its member,

and a nut threaded on to the end of each rod, substantially asdescribed. 7

3. A constructioncontaining the elements inconlbination' defined inclaim 2 combined with 'feet "integral with each of said bars and spaced:apart, said "feet projecting-downa barrel or other container with whichsaid device is associated, substantially as described.

A device *o'f thegcharacter"described,

com rising two bars adapted 'to be placed one at each side of a greasedispensing 'ap for drawing the "said hook ineftnbers into' tight,engagement with said har'rel chinifels. A device of the c'haracterdescribed, comprising two members, each at ts outer end heing forinedwith a "downwardly and inwardly turned hook and at its "inner end withan upturned ear, a rod passing through each-ear,- a nut threaded on tothe outer end of each rod against the ear, a grease dispensingappliance, and means for 'connect ing the inner ends ofthe rods to saidappliance, substantially as described.
